Shape Rectangle positioning

Hi inQuisiters,
Currently I'm having some trouble positioning a rectangle shape object in the position I'd like.  I want it to be /position (50%, 95%), a.k.a 5% of the screen below the rectangle should be white-space.  And I want the size of my rectangle to be /size (5%, 50%).  What ends up happening is inQuisit will grow my rectangle shape out in both directions from the location specified with position.  What I want is it to only grow in the positive y direction (towards the top of the screen).  Simply changing the position won't work because I want to have another rectangle "progress bar" fill this rectangle from the bottom => up (not inside => out).  

Any suggestions to make this work or am I stuck with rectangles growing outward from a specified position rather than a given direction?

Thanks!

See the documentation for the /halign and /valign attributes. If not specified otherwise, both default to center.
